William “Bill” Sibbald and Helen Ross began their lives together Dec. 31, 1947 — almost 70 years ago! Helen lived on the Ross family ranch, 12 miles southwest of Rivers. Bill, the handsome farmer from across the valley, kept “losing his horse,” finding it on several occasions at the Ross ranch. Bill and Helen share a love of nature and animals, and after marriage, began their farming career on the Sibbald farm. That farm is legally described as NW 1-11-22, Riverdale Municipality, located 15 miles southwest of Rivers, overlooking the Assiniboine River.

Does anyone know who the four ladies are? Does anyone know who ran the shoe repair business? Or who had the barber shop? What year this might have been? if you have the information, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
